You should be able to buy a bigger battery box from later years. I had to do that on my 2016 KTM. Purchasing the 2018 larger battery box, & the battery I use is a 210 cca Shorai LFX14L2-BS12 Extreme Rate Lithium Iron Battery On the suspension might not be a bad idea to switch it to the XACT pro A kit forks, if you don’t wanna break the bank technical touch sells a kit where you can slide in the SSS KYB internals in your existing outer fork tubes. As for the rear shock switch out the piston reservoir for a bladder kit, makes a world of a difference, especially on the square edge bumps. Good luck! 👍🏻

Why does it have a magura rear brake caliper and I'm assuming master cylinder? Did the Husky I'm '17 come with it? I thought being owned by KTM they used Brembo... Brembo can over heat easy so I run a really high boiling point fluid, but there's no issues with stopping power, especially on a track with grip. Is the front atleast a brembo? When I went back to Yamaha I had to come up with a way run the brembo system with oversized front rotor, it made me spoiled and the Nissan wasn't cutting it. I can get away with pretty much any rear brake, I rarely use it, but the front has to have a lot of braking power with just barley applying pressure to the lever while still being progressive. No one does it better than Brembo... I've always wanted to try their expensive 'SXS Factory' calipers they sell on the KTM PowerPart store, they're about a grand each, I'd love to get my hands on one for the front. It's been awhile since I had my last KTM, but I believe the clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder was also Brembo, where for the longest time those were Magura and pretty much any hydraulic clutch set up you buy for bikes that don't come stock with an hydraulic clutch are Magura. I'd love to get one of these built fir the new 2023 EFI bikes rather than TPI, they're quite a bit different so I doubt their current package would work for the SX 250/300.. and then take that engine with HINSON clutch and clutch cover (cover up all the KTM branding since it won't be in its chassis), use some custom titanium engine mounts and hangers, swap all the electrical and intake components, and then put it in a YZ250 chassis with the aluminum frame and KYB SSS forks and shock...With the extra torque/power and weight of the engine, it'd probably need revalved and/or sprung before trying to set sag. Yamaha has my favorite stock fork and shock, by far, and the WP stuff gets expensive to swap it out with the KYB spring conversion, and im not even sure if that's the same as the SSS, i'm assuming it is..The chassis and overall feel of a YZ feels like home whereas the KTM always felt like I was fighting it, but I love the engine characteristics of KTMs big bores in particular.. the 300 was amazing..plus they keep updating 2 stroke technology. I'm just not a fan of WP AER/Explor forks or the chassis. I don't know if its just that k like a more rigid feel or what that the Aluminum gives me, but the steel frame or its geometry never gelled with me. Part of the reason is the foot peg placement always felt off, I probably should of tried finding different/adjustable peg height and have the ability to move it a few mm forwards or backwards. My perfect bike would be YZ frame/chassis/suspension, KTM EFI SX300 power plant, and a full Brembo brake system front n rear... and I guess at that point I'd have to run a hydraulic clutch, but if possible to swap it I'd rather run cable for the connective feel it provides over hydraulic.
